Microsoft Office Language Pack 2007
An installation of Office 2016 can include applications or user interface elements in more than one language because some Office 2016 products are not available in every language.
This article describes the language versions that are available for a subset of Office 2016 applications, the Office 2016 applications that will work with Language Interface Packs, and the recommended base languages to install for Office 2016 Language Interface Packs.
Important
This article describes methods of deploying and managing language packs for versions of Office 2016 that use the Windows Installer (MSI) installation technology, which are available for enterprises through volume licensing. If you have an Office subscription and you're deploying Office 365 ProPlus, which uses the Click-to-Run installation technology, see Overview of deploying languages in Office 365 ProPlus.
Applications and language availability
In some non-English language versions of Office 2016, a specific Office 2016 application may not be available. For example, Access 2016 is not available in Hindi. Therefore, the Hindi language version of Office 2016 is installed in English.
Some Office applications are not available in some languages. Project 2016 and Visio 2016 are available in a subset of languages, as shown in the following table.

Language Interface Packs
For some languages, Microsoft localizes only some Office 2016 applications and releases them as Language Interface Packs (LIPs). These LIPs localize the user interface only, and not the Help content. Administrators must first install a fully localized base language version (see the table later in this section) of Office 2016, and then install the LIP. Users can then work in their preferred language in the following applications and features:
- Excel 2016
- OneNote 2016
- Outlook 2016
- PowerPoint 2016
- Shared Office features
- Word 2016
- Skype for Business 2016, but only for the following languages:
- Albanian: sq-SQ
- Azerbaijani (Latin): az-Latn-AZ
- Basque: eu-ES
- Belarusian: be-BE
- Catalan: ca-ES
- Farsi (Persian): fa-IR
- Filipino: fil-PH
- Galician: gl-ES
- Macedonian: mk-MK
- Serbian (Cyrillic): sr-Cyrl-RS
- Uzbek (Latin): uz-Latn-UZ
The remaining Office applications appear in the base Office 2016 installation language. The following table lists the base language for each LIP language.
